WebAsyst and Shop-Script forums / Add a SIZE field to the shopping cart

Hello everybody!

I need your help for this one. I tried to add a field called SIZE to the shopping cart, since I sell apparel. Have you tried to modify the shopping_cart.php file? I've already added the field in the database and in the shopping cart template. Now I need the php code which will send the new information to the database and also to the Orders section in the admin back-end panel. How to do that? I appreciate your help, since I like the shop-script free and I want to continue using it.

I found this in the PHP Shopping cart tutorial:

Shopping cart:

Here we use two array to store products in the shopping cart:
$_SESSION["gids"] contains productID values of the products which are currently in the customer's shopping cart.
$_SESSION["counts"] contains item quantities information - how many items of a certain product are there in customer's cart.

I guessed I had to add the new field first in the SS_products structure. I did it. There I chose the SET type and insert the VALUES 'M','L','XL' and saved it. Now I have 17 rows in the SS_products table.
After that I opened the shopping_cart.tpl.html file and found the table structure that appears on the front end. I added the new field in the menu so it looks like:

Code:

<form action="index.php" method=post>

    <table width=75% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=5>

     <tr align="center" bgcolor="#{$smarty.const.CONF_MIDDLE_COLOR}">
     <td class="menu">{$smarty.const.TABLE_PRODUCT_NAME}</td>
     <td class="menu">{$smarty.const.TABLE_PRODUCT_QUANTITY}</td>
         <td class="menu">{$smarty.const.TABLE_PRODUCT_SIZE}</td>
     <td class="menu">{$smarty.const.TABLE_PRODUCT_COST}</td>
     <td width=20></td>
     </tr>

Here, in the second row of the table appear the values shown to the customer:

Code:

 {section loop=$cart_content name=i}
        <tr bgcolor=white>
         <td><a href="index.php?productID={$cart_content[i].id}">{if $cart_content[i].product_code ne ""}[{$cart_content[i].product_code}] {/if}{$cart_content[i].name}</a></td>
         <td align=center><input type="text" name="count_{$cart_content[i].id}" size=5 value="{$cart_content[i].quantity}"></td>
                 <td align=center><input type="set" name="count_{$cart_content[i].id}" size=5 value="{$cart_content[i].Size}"></td>
         <td align=center>{$cart_content[i].cost}</td>
         <td align=center><a href="index.php?shopping_cart=yes&remove={$cart_content[i].id}"><img src="images/button_delete.gif" border=0 alt="{$smarty.const.DELETE_BUTTON}"></a></td>
        </tr>
     {/section}

And finally the total cost:

Code:

{section loop=$cart_content name=i}
        <tr bgcolor=white>
         <td><a href="index.php?productID={$cart_content[i].id}">{if $cart_content[i].product_code ne ""}[{$cart_content[i].product_code}] {/if}{$cart_content[i].name}</a></td>
         <td align=center><input type="text" name="count_{$cart_content[i].id}" size=5 value="{$cart_content[i].quantity}"></td>
                 <td align=center><input type="set" name="count_{$cart_content[i].id}" size=5 value="{$cart_content[i].Size}"></td>
         <td align=center>{$cart_content[i].cost}</td>
         <td align=center><a href="index.php?shopping_cart=yes&remove={$cart_content[i].id}"><img src="images/button_delete.gif" border=0 alt="{$smarty.const.DELETE_BUTTON}"></a></td>
        </tr>
     {/section}

Then the form is closed:

Code:

<input type=hidden name=update value=1>
    <input type=hidden name=shopping_cart value=1>

    <p>
    <table width=75% border=0>
     <tr><td align=right><input type="submit" value="{$smarty.const.UPDATE_BUTTON}"></td></tr>
    </table>
    </form>

Of course I also defined the table title in the language.php file.

What is wrong or missing? It seems all right in the database, since I can set the SIZE there. I would try to add some kind of "SELECT SIZE" option in the product_detailed template, but I don't understant what does the $product_info[number] mean.

So, please, help! I really try to learn how to edit it. Thanks in advance.

If there's multiple sizes how do you track the quantity of them? I sell boots. One boot can have several sizes, and I can't simply have people buy 12 of a boot I only have 2 of because there is only one available quantity field.
